Re: Remote Jungle Boats - Disneyland Hotel

Anyone can use them. You need to get some tokens from the machine (a couple bucks, don't really know) and you just pick your helm and go!

The boats actually work better in reverse, but then again, I haven't operated any of them in years...

Last time I was there, 1 token was $2 I believe. It was fun playing with those boats, I practically became a JC Skipper since that will be the closest thing to commanding a JC Boat. Be sure to sail yours to a spot that triggers an event.

hehe... Been there, done that! Well, sort of...

Back when one of my kids was about 3 or so, she would watch the other kids play with the boats, so she would want to as well. Well, being that she was a three year old, I figured I was a little smarter than her so I would tell her which boat to watch and then I helped her with the steering wheel. She was thrilled! She got to drive one!

Well... She THOUGHT she was driving one!

Actually, I was watching another person drive THEIR boat and followed their wheel left and right while I "helped" her drive, so it matched the boat that I told her to watch and "drive". LOL

Yeah, I'm dirty, mean and nasty!!!

That's what my mom tells me she used to do with coin-op arcade games when I was around that age. She'd let me "play" the preview screen, and not knowing the difference, I was perfectly happy. Then one day, some nice guy put a quarter into the game for me, and little baby me realized the difference. My mom jokes that that one quarter wound up costing her hundreds of dollars .

Re: Remote Jungle Boats - Disneyland Hotel

I love playing with these. Our tradition is to eat at Croc's Bits and Bites the night before we go to the park and then play with the boats. I love all the little interactive things you can do with them.

Our revels now are ended. These our actors, As I foretold you, were all spirits and Are melted into air, into thin air: And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces, The solemn temples, the great globe itself, Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff As dreams are made on, and our little life Is rounded with a sleep. mycroft16 on Twitter
